Chicken ala King
This is a really delicious chicken ala king that is fooproof and can be easily expanded for as many guests you have. Everyone should have a chicken ala king recipe that they can call on any time and this is the one I use often. This is for 4 or 5 people. Enjoy it.
What you need
60g butter
60g flour
1 onion finely chopped
large handful of mushrooms quartered
1 red pepper chopped
3 chicken breasts cubed
pinch of nutmeg
salt and pepper to taste
350ml milk
125ml cream
The process
Poach the chicken breasts in a little salted water until cooked through and chop into 2cm cubes.
In a pot on a medium heat melt the butter and cook the onions, mushrooms and red pepper until the onions are translucent.
Add a pinch on nutmeg and season with salt and pepper. Then add the flour and cook, stirring constantly for about 2 minutes.
Begin adding the milk stirring all the time until you have a nice smooth texture in the sauce.
Add the cream and stir until the mixture is hot (not boiling). Add the chicken pieces, reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes stirring occasionally.
Taste and season with salt and pepper if necessary.
Done! serve with boiled white rice. Try some of the other easy chicken recipes

Made for dinner tonight, the nutmeg certainly did add that extra bit of flavour. Will most definitely make this again(at least once a month). Beats the packet ala king cook in sauce. Thanks Graham. Well done!!!!

Hey Graham
Hmmm chicken ala Kim I have quite mastered this recipe, unusual tip with the nutmeg, will have to give it a bash.
Once again thanks for the great recipes.
Thanks Lilly, the nutmeg just seems to bring out a new level. I find they can be a little bland. Let me know what you think.
I like your way of doing this really simple dish. I myself love making this as it can expand to however many people you making it for, I must say that i do it a little differently I don’t do the chicken separately, I tend to make everything in one pot and turns out just perfect, I will how ever be trying out the use of nutmeg, great tip thanks.
